Question:
I was also amazed that there was absolutely no paper work with the PSE Intrepid riser that I just bought. Is that typical with todays archery equipment?
Answer:
Although it is a bit late in the game for you (I am betting you bought this stuff from mail order) I would RUN not walk to the nearest PRO SHOP around..Failing that the next best would be an Archery Club in your area.. Just basics in shooting can NOT be self taught..let alone what you have asked here.
